Jacob & Co. is once again redefining the outer limits of haute horology with the unveiling of the God of Time, a monumental creation that houses the fastest tourbillon ever made. Conceived to celebrate the 60th birthday of founder Jacob Arabo, the watch is produced in a strictly limited run of 60 pieces, reinforcing its status as both a technical and symbolic milestone for the brand.
At its core lies the hand-wound caliber JCAM60, engineered around a tourbillon that completes a full rotation every four seconds—an astonishing feat that makes it 15 times faster than a traditional tourbillon. This breakthrough is made possible by an ultra-lightweight titanium carriage weighing just 0.27 grams, paired with a specialized constant-force mechanism designed to maintain stability and precision at extreme rotational speeds.
Visually, the God of Time draws heavily from Greek mythology and classical architecture. Its 44.5 mm rose gold case is sculpted to resemble a fluted temple column, underscoring the watch’s mythic inspiration. Dominating the dial is a hand-engraved 18K rose gold figure of Chronos, the Greek god of time, poised against a blue aventurine backdrop that evokes a celestial night sky. The theatrical presentation transforms the timepiece into a wearable sculpture as much as a mechanical marvel.
Despite its dramatic complexity, the watch delivers robust performance, offering a 60-hour power reserve—an impressive balance of artistry and engineering. Turning the piece over reveals a sapphire caseback engraved with Jacob Arabo’s portrait and personal signature, serving as a final, intimate stamp on this commemorative creation.
The Jacob & Co. God of Time stands as a bold statement of what modern watchmaking can achieve when technical ambition and storytelling converge. Pricing is available upon request.
